Overview

This article will run you through how a Reviewer can manage review requests, including how to request changes and approve a document. 

What are Reviews?

Reviews is where a Reviewer can manage all requests that have been submitted for approval and monitor any that require changes.

How to Manage Reviews 

To view a request:

1. Head to Reviews, located in the left-hand navigation menu.

2. Switch to the relevant tab from - Awaiting Review, Changes Requested, or Approved. If you’re unsure of a request’s status, you can select the All tab to view all review requests. To find a specific review request you’re after, you can:

• Search by requester to show requests from a specific team member. Search by name or email.

• Filter by team to show requests from team members in a specific team/s.

• Filter by tag to show requests from team categorised with that tag.

• Sort by most recent or oldest. Most recent or oldest is determined by the date the request was made. If a request has been submitted for approval multiple times (for example, after changes were requested), the latest date will be used for sorting purposes.

• Switch to grid or list view. Grid view is more visual, whereas list view displays more requests at once.

Once you’ve selected a request, you can approve the request, request changes, or make the changes on behalf of the user and approve the request with changes.
